I tried I really did. I spent night after night trying to figure this guy out. I thought "Hey I'll make another silly gimmick deck" but no this card is actually more useless than my bachelors of fine arts. This card is the hearthstone equivalent to someone who gets surgery to have fake body builder muscles. They look tough until you take a swing and they go down like a sack of bricks.

Captains parrot trades better than he does because at least then you can get a kind of draw power out of it. He dies to everything. He is the alternate universe harvest golem. But instead of having a goatee and doing evil things he dies in one shot for absolutely no value. Literally not having a card in your deck would be better because at least then you could draw something good.

The only combo I could find that works with him is void terror. His most useful function is DYING.

He'd be an ok card if he just had ONE MORE HEALTH. Then he'd be playable and in fact kinda ok but right now he's that kid on the playground that all the teachers are worried might not pass kindergarten again.

Magma Rager is guy you take with you to a bar that is suppose to be your wing man but then totally tries to get with the girl you are chatting up. He comes over and says something weird like "Are you an angel because my arms sure are tired?" (yeah with a question mark) Then he spends the rest of the evening talking about how awesome he is because he used to be a little league baseball team's waterboy. THAT'S MAGMA RAGER.

Any slightly valid strategy you could have with him would work better with any other card. Think about it you could use a wisp+power overwelming+void terror for 4 mana! Is that bad? YEAH BUT ITS STILL BETTER ISN'T IT?

Magma rager is more of a disappointment to my life than finding out that Santa isn't real.

Side note: Do you know how soul crushing that was for me? I cried dude.

Combos:

Magma rager+ power overwhelming+Void terror: Kill him from your deck

Spam your hero power: End the suffering

I am ashamed to see so much magma rager hate coming from what I would assume to be otherwise level-headed people. Did you know that there's only one 3-drop minion that is ~totally immune~ to the effects of hunters mark?? Yeah, THAT hunters mark! The hunters mark that everyone fears and despises. ONLY ONE CREATURE IS IMMUNE!!! And that one creature... is magna rager. Didn't think about it that way, huh? Also if your opponent is priest then he can't heal your magma rager to draw a card with his northshire cleric. Also if warrior uses slam on your rager then he will literally not be allowed to draw a card. That's like, an auto-win vs warrior. How's he gonna beat you with no cards. PATHETIC!!

I know this is a joke comment, but still you forgot scarlet crusader and wolfrider for the hunter's mark immunity part. But it's clear that scarlet crusader is worse than magma rager, because warrior can slam it and still draw a card. You also forgot to add that equality does nothing to this badass called magma rager.

Exactly! Why is a minor inconvenience such as only having one health such a big deal? In addition to the bonuses listed above, this minion is the statistically most attack efficient per mana cost in the ENTIRE GAME! Let's take a card that is supposedly good, like Ragnaros the Firelord. Sure he does 8 damage when he hits the board but he costs EIGHT MANA! Magma Rager only costs THREE mana for FIVE ATTACK! That's like... 40% MORE efficient!

Hahahaha :,). Read the description before you decide to craft cards for a deck. It's a joke, you didn't even read the comments :P. The title is ´´Can magma rager be good?´´ and the first word in the description is NO. Go figure

The Magma Rager is obviously best in Shaman. If she takes non-fatal damage, she can be healed with a Healing Totem or healed up to full Health with Ancestral Healing, which also creates a very sturdy Taunt.
